Hey all, I had a serious discussion with moon about setups, the site meta, and how to make comp more appealing. Why not make a separate fancy pants only lobby so new players aren't introduced to a setup that, may be fun but promote theworst behaviours for learning competitve play?
Guns and Hookers is an excellent red heart setup, and more setups like those (BASIC SCUM HUNT) should be played.
To those players who only play Fancy Pants, the Fancy Pants only lobby will still fill, and everyone will still be happy.
Like you realise having an entire seperate lobby is only going to make players more hesitant about joining comp and other higher level set ups from their fp safe zone?
"Classic only teaches people how to follow the clear, and new players only learn how to lynch between ccs. It doesn't help them develop any ability to scumhunt.
Fancy pants on the other hand it's best for the clear to hide and the cop will often die, forcing people to scumhunt outside of cops. Fancy pants is an overall better setup and it should become the new mainstay instead of Classic."
tbh its just fancy pants that stands out amongst newb friendly setups as the setup that teaches players such terrible gameplay. all the other newb setups have redeeming qualities and allow new players to learn.
ty moon for featuring basic scum hunt, probs the best 7 person setup for new players to practice for comp on

maybe a lobby for people to train their skills and one they can compete in

i think that it would make more sense to just have one lobby for competitive setups, and then another for more casual play

How sad that would be if it killed FP. I would have to cry myself to sleep
Guns and Hookers teaches players good mafia skills though. Classic does to some extent as well.
Fancy Pants:
-promotes nling -tells maf not to CC (when every other setup on this site has maf CC something) -is much more luck based than the average setup -promotes sheeping the clear/s
Guns and Hookers teaches town basic gun mechanics and introduces cops to hooker. It also teaches maf the important skill of PR reading
Clasic Mafia teaches maf how to CC and teaches towns how to lynch right between CC fiights.
Fancy Pants is the only beginner setup that promotes all the wrong behaviour and is terribly designed as well.
